Florida resident gives video tour of Hurricane Helene devastation: 'Entire houses are missing'

A Florida resident provided a devastating first-hand look at hard-hit Cedar Key Friday morning after parts of the town were flattened by Hurricane Helene. After spending the night riding out the storm and checking in on his neighbors, Michael Presley Bobbitt, 48, woke to find his town of Cedar Key littered with debris with rows of houses gone, a gaping hole clear through his post office and the wall to his local mom-and-pop supermarket missing. "The scenes we're seeing around the island, entire houses are missing or flattened in on themselves. The hardware store is gone," Bobbitt said. "It's hard to take in. However bad we imagined it would be when we were fighting this thing in the darkness, it's so much worse in the daylight," he added. Despite orders to evacuate, Bobbitt, who has lived in Cedar Key for five years, said he stayed behind to help out those who could not leave with his rescue boat and document the storm. "It's unbelievable," Bobbitt said. "Godspeed, Cedar Key."
